Creating Juggling Tricks

Here’s a video posted on YouTube by Mick Lunzer. There are two things I like about this. First, I’ve been interested in hoop juggling for a while. Not many people do it, but it seems like has good potential for entertaining tricks. I don’t know if the hoops are just hard to find/make, if they are hard to juggle, or what, but I think the juggling subculture needs to embrace the hoop.

I also like how Mick describes the process of developing a new trick. He gives a great simple explanation of taking something he can do, imagining what he could ad to it, and working on it until he sees progress. It really captures the self-discovery aspect of juggling that is so appealing to us jugglers.
